YouTube has a full page ad in the Australian today on the first day of the new parliament as it continues to lobby against being included in the under 16s social media ban.
Proudly in a category

YouTube is what you can watch on TV.
Where teens come to learn.
What teachers recommend.
It's the largest library of entertainment, knowledge, and the worlds curiosity all wrapped up in one place. There's nothing else like it. And we're proud of that.
In fact, 82% of teachers surveyed in Australia say learning related content on YouTube helps students spend their online time in a positive way.*
Of course, none of that matters if it isn't a safe place. That's why our safeguards are experiences in young Australiansopriate Built for kids.
Built for parents.
Built for families.
